Poliomyelitis is always a great concern in Pakistan and is a public health emergency. COVID-19 and recent floods have increased the challenge.
This article highlights the situation of polio in Pakistan and also recommends several steps to eradicate the disease as early as possible.
Selected articles were selected from electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus using keywords such as Wild Poliovirus, Vaccine Derived Polio Infection, Acute Flaccid Paralysis, Vaccine, and Pakistan.
Polio infection has two types, wild poliovirus and vaccine-derived polio infection. 2019 and 2020 were a challenging time as cases were increased at that time in Pakistan. Acute flaccid paralysis is the most common complication of this disease. The maximum cases of polio are being reported from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
A special public health importance should be given in this province. Regular vaccination and strict surveillance are important. It is also important to spread awareness among the people. Early identification and timely diagnosis are very important. Early diagnosis, proper timely treatment, vaccination, awareness, and community-based research will help Pakistan to eradicate this disease as early as possible.
脊髓灰质炎在巴基斯坦一直备受关注，是突发公共卫生事件。新冠疫情和近期的洪水加剧了这一挑战。
本文着重介绍巴基斯坦的脊髓灰质炎疫情，并建议采取若干措施尽早根除该疾病。
从电子数据库（如PubMed、谷歌学术和Scopus）中选取文章，使用“野生脊髓灰质炎病毒”“疫苗衍生脊髓灰质炎感染”“急性弛缓性麻痹”“疫苗”和“巴基斯坦”等关键词。
脊髓灰质炎感染有两种类型，即野生脊髓灰质炎病毒和疫苗衍生脊髓灰质炎感染。2019年和2020年是充满挑战的时期，当时巴基斯坦的病例有所增加。急性弛缓性麻痹是该疾病最常见的并发症。脊髓灰质炎病例最多的报告来自开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省。
该省应给予特别的公共卫生重视。定期接种疫苗和严格监测很重要。在民众中传播意识也很重要。早期识别和及时诊断非常重要。早期诊断、适当及时的治疗、接种疫苗、提高意识以及基于社区的研究将有助于巴基斯坦尽早根除该疾病。
